Well I have and it's the saddess thing in the whole world.
The next time you see a little Child think about these things and give them a friendly smile.

Make them know that you understand and that you care. Do something kind for them so they know that there are kind and caring people out there, that not all people are like the people that they HAVE to be around.

I do believe it takes a village to raise a Child and make them feel safe and secure. The Children are our future and what are we teaching these Children to be when they grow up? They need to know that the world is not like the one that they have to live in and that they can make a difference and we can help them see this.

Some of the Children have the protection of Angels and others have Angels that cannot get there in time.
The LORD will save all the Children whether here or up in Heaven.

All the Relatives need to help to save the Children and help to get them out of that environment for good.

That's what I did and I'm glad that I did. I don't want any medals or pats on the back, just to see them smile with love in thier eyes instead of tears. That is enough for me, and it should be enough for you too.
